Even if you can’t volunteer this time (“Don’t almost volunteer–volunteer!”), mark your calendar now and plan to take your tweens and teenagers for some serious perspective on how good they have it.
Here’s the announcement I received from Chicago Public Radio:
Next month is the 2010 Global Activism Expo and it’s shaping up to be the largest public gathering on the Chicago Public Radio calendar. With over 100 activist groups, four onsite volunteer opportunities for the public to “get involved,” eight restaurants selling food, Goose Island Beer, workshops all day long, this thing has expanded like one of those spongey kid’s toys! On top of all the fun, it is notable that there isn’t another gathering of globally responsible groups like the GAX on the entire Face of the Earth.
We need app. 30 volunteers and everyone coming needs to participate in our Orientation Party (pizza, beer, soda, comprehensive instructions for the Main Event, and tie dye with Jerome McDonnell)

UiC FORUM, 725 W. Roosevelt RoadHosted by Worldview’s Jerome McDonnell, Chicago Public Radio Presents… is thrilled to again present this remarkable celebration – complete with food, music and over 100 Chicago-area Global Activists, all featured guests of Worldview’s Global Activism Series. On the air for seven years now, the Series continues to be inspirational, and bringing everyone together for this Expo has quickly become an annual event.
This year, in order to properly prepare for the estimated 5,000 people we expect to attend, we’ve arranged for a special GAX Volunteer Orientation Party. In order to volunteer for this intensive event you will need to be available for both the event AND the party. We will assign duties, eat pizza, drink free beer, and make special tie-dyed volunteer tee-shirts with Jerome at Navy Pier on Tuesday, April 6 from 6:00PM to 9:00PM.
We need thirty (!!) volunteers to staff this huge event – duties will include general ushering, box office, assisting with workshops, and controlling the mayhem of this amazing all-day experience.
If available and interested, email me at donhall@chicagopublicradio.org with GAX in the Subject Line.
